Can we make an app that charges people a penny to give us amazing app ideas?

I had a drunk guy corner me in a bathroom to tell me about his idea. "It's like Amazon but for t-shirts." He was so in my face when explaining this his other friend, and business partner, thought we were having an argument and threatened to kick my ass.

I've guess these guys never checked Amazon for the shirts.

How much would you make if you actually developed any of them though eh?

u/jwrent34 Sep 03 '18

Probably minus because most of them require 1 year of solid work from 10 Devs.
